Here is a detailed explanation of my two problems that I am unable to figure out on my 1000h.

When I used iatkos (newest) I found that the power button at the right corner worked! When I used iDeneb (newest) it doesn't work? Why? How can I fix it?

Second, I find that when I am going from XP to either the installation disk or finished OSx86 install I have lag issues. The lag issues consist of the mouse basically not working. But if I put my two fingers on the touchpad, the mouse moves but in an inconsistently random motion With nothing to do other then to watch the desktop, I am forced to restart.

This is the point were 1 & 2 combine. When I am forced to restart, I can't on IDeneb because the power button doesn't work. I have used the eee patches, as well as Audeee, they all installed great. I installed the newest modded bios too. Though the bios update would help?

Please clarify what you mean by the power button working/not working. Do you mean just to shut it off, or did you actually get the Sleep/Shutdown dialog box on button push under iAtkos?

I ask because it is known that the Power Button in the ipis is actually treated as an Asus hotkey, in that it sends an ACPI event. If only we could trap that event and reissue it as an ADB Power Button message, we may actually get the dialog as with a real Mac.

This is actually not related to your issue of the button not working but I am trying to find out what you mean by the button working under iAtkos.

Hold down Ctrl + F12 then hit R for Reboot. CTRL + F12 gives you the dialog for shutdown, reboot, etc. As far as the lag issue, when I come out of sleep or from XP, I find that tapping the esc key usually corrects the erratic mouse issue. If it doesn't then I just reboot.

I too had lots of troubles on and off with iDeneb back when I was experimenting with different installs. I too foundgtht iATKOS was the easiest to fine tune. It also seemed to install less extra stuff so my foot print was smaller.

Very strange that CTRL + F12 doesn't work. I hold it for about 2-3 seconds and it comes right up. I don't think I have anything special installed that would make it work. SMBIOSEFI 28 for macbook air maybe? It's also the left CTRL key if that makes a difference.

I think the main reason that any of us are using iDeneb at all is because of the maceee.com guide and recommendations.

I for one would like to see Hagglebeef come up with a guide for vanilla install. Not that one couldn't figure it out from the existing guides on InsanelyMac, but 'beef will know about any ipis-specific quirks and pitfalls that may need to be addressed when applying the vanilla install.
